Bruegel Complete Paintings

Starting out as a print designer for publisher Hieronymus Cock, Bruegel produced numerous print series that were distributed throughout Europe. He then increasingly turned to painting, working for the cultural elite of Antwerp and Brussels. Rather than idealizing reality, he bravely confronted the issues of his day, addressing the horrors of religious warfare and taking a critical stand against the institution of the Church. This volume, in celebration of Taschen's 40th anniversary, presents all of Brueghel's paintings, accompanied by enlarged details and accessible, immersive texts.
